Counting problem (passwords) Using six lowercase letters: a) How many if letter a appears exactly once? b) a at least once? c) a no more than once?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am thinking that they are following: a) 1*25^5 b) 25^5 + 25^4 + 25^3 + 25^2 + 25^1 * 1^6 (6 a's) c) 1*25^5 + 26^6 Am I right? Or on the right track at least?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second is correct i believe only you left out the 1's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like the first would be \[1*25^5\] second would be \[1*1*25^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the last is correct
